Le Petit Palais

“Everything. Gilles was a lot of fun to hang out with. Breakfasts were perfect.”

“This small Palermo hotel has lots of character and is well located for touring the city. Gilles, the owner, is a congenial host and a wonderful source of recommendations for restaurants, music venues and sightseeing. He provides a very good breakfast and is helpful in terms of booking taxis and transportation to tango halls, for example.”

“Gilles runs a really smooth operation. He is super organised and knows exactly what guests will need. I particularly liked his interior design and the small touches throughout the property. In a neighbourhood where fancy new apartments are being thrown up, it's wonderful to walk through the gates of a more traditional house and enjoy all the period features that Gilles has kept or lovingly restored. The breakfasts were really great - with home baked products each morning, good coffee, moist scrambled eggs and home made yogurt. Fun too to chat with other travelers at this time. A nice mix of personal space and quite social. Gilles has mastered the balance between professional and friendly. I'd definitely recommend.”

“We had a fantastic few days staying at Le Petit Palais. It's perfectly located in close proximity to the buzzing streets of Palermo with lots of restaurants and bars. The house is a very pretty building and our room was super comfortable. Gilles was also a very welcoming host who was happy to help in every way he could and also had lots of excellent (restaurant) recommendations. The breakfast was delicious with fresh orange juice and artisanal bread.”

“The host Gilles was so helpful, giving us great restaurant recommendations and tips for the city! Breakfast was delicious and area was good to get to different places and well connected by bus!”
